Product Manual ABOUT STREZOV SAMPLING STREZOV SAMPLING © is a division of STREZOV MUSIC PRODUCTIONS LTD – a company created by George Strezov – orchestrator, composer and orchestra/choir contractor in Sofia, Bulgaria. We have been sampling since December 2012 when we started out with Storm Choir 1 and throughout that time we learned and incorporated a lot into our products. Our team is passionate about sample libraries because at the end we are the first customers of the products – we are composers and arrangers working around the world. Our headquarters are based in Sofia, Bulgaria where we record the fantastic musicians and singers that breathe life into the tiny .wav samples that we later include into Kontakt. DISCLAIMER / PHILOSOPHY We would like to note that, in our pursuit for more lively and natural samples, we tend to avoid a few things that are considered commonplace. We used some normalization on the samples, but tried to keep the depth of the instrument dynamics. We embrace candid, lively samples that include some natural imperfections. ABOUT LIGHTNING X3M LIGHTNING X3M is a product using the X3M engine, allowing the user to manipulate the sample material. This opens vast musical possibilities for the working composer. The concept behind LIGHTNING X3M is not only to introduce different types of high frequency percussion, but also to create unique instrument combinations, similar to our previous percussion series, as well as some new sounds and effects. Our main idea was to record a number of high frequency percussion instruments, suitable for all kinds of dynamic music and especially film/trailer. The library has multiple dynamic levels (from very soft ppp to blasting ffff) and has multiple round- robins (meaning that each instrument has unique samples that get changed every time you press a key). THE X3M ENGINE The concept behind the X3M engine is quite simple – it is made of 12 zones that you assign different patches to. After making the template of your choosing, just plug in and play – nothing else needed! When you load up Lightning X3M, you automatically load all samples held inside your “Samples” directory. However, the instruments are built in such a way that not only do you have a single patch with all types of percussion you might need - you also have a patch that is optimized and does not hurt your RAM! How does it work? When you open the patch, the main settings you need are displayed here: You have 6 zones displayed on this page (you can use the arrow to change between pages) and you have several controls: Pitch Knob – allows you to adjust the pitch of the samples. Really useful to load a single instrument two times and then change the pitch of one of the zones. For instance – load up a solo instrument on zones 1 and 2, then decrease the pitch of zone 2 all the way to the left. And now you have an even thicker sound. Transient controls – transient attack and sustain work like a compressor; the attack amps up the beginning of the wave file, while the sustain can increase or decrease the sample tail. These are just PERFECT for getting even punchier sound! When you click on the zone's name (ZONE 1, ZONE 2, etc...) you get a new page with the individual zone settings (as displayed above). You have a couple of main categories: Clocks & Ticks, Shakers, Ethnic Shakers, Buttons & Knobs, Synth Perc, Clicks & Clacks, Hats & Cymbals, Small Metals 1, Small Metals 2, Muted Percussion, Orchestral, Ethnic Metals, Synth Perc Dist and Misc. How do I load instruments? Click on any zone (marked Z-1, Z-2, Z-3, …, Z-12 above) and then navigate through the list of categories; choose a sample that works well for you and then click the “X” button at the top right corner of the detailed settings. There are two additional buttons at the bottom – DISCARD (reverts all changes that you have made to the default values) and CLEAR (removes all samples and settings from the zone). All 12 zones are marked with different colors to allow for easier playability. Not only that – when you edit the zones, the color of the edited zone will change to white. We did this to avoid confusion and to give you a clear view of what you are currently editing. There is also the Reset RR function available in the keyboard as a keyswitch located on A-1, marked in white. The patches also have global microphone control. By default you have all three microphones - “Close”, “Decca” and “Hall” , turned ON. Apart from all these functionalities, which are standard for all Strezov Sampling X3M libraries, there is a new function included in the Lightning X3M – Select RR. This function allows you to deactivate any of the RRs for a particular instrument included in the library. That gives you the liberty to shape the sound per your taste and needs. Last but not least, the engine has some really useful controls: NEW – initializes the template – just like the button CLEAR, but applied to all zones. LOAD/SAVE – you have the possibility to make your own presets and to save them with just a few clicks of the mouse! HELP – a built-in ''help'' file (as displayed above) RESET RR – resets all Round-robins for the samples (this function is also available as a keyswitch, located on A-1) INSTRUMENT PATCHES In your “Instruments” directory you will find the following patches: “Lightning_X3M_BLANK” - blank template of the engine, ready for you to play around with! You also have some additional patches that you can load for specific instruments. They are to be found in the sub-folder called “Multi Patches”. Here they are: – Buttons & Knobs – Clicks & Clacks 1 – Clicks & Clacks 2 – Clocks – Ethnic Metals 1 (Chans) – Ethnic Metals 2 – Ethnic Shakers 1 – Ethnic Shakers 2 – Hi-hats – Misc 1 – Misc 2 – Mouse & Keyboards – Muted Percussion 1 – Muted Percussion 2 (Cajons) – Orchestral – Rides – Shakers 1 – Shakers 2 – Small Metals 1 – Small Metals 2 – Small Metals 3 – Synth Perc 1 – Synth Perc 2 – Synth Perc Dist 1 – Synth Perc Dist 2 – Typewriters Here is a detailed list of all samples included: 1.

  • African Drumming in Drum Circles by Robert J
    African Drumming in Drum Circles By Robert J. Damm Although there is a clear distinction between African drum ensembles that learn a repertoire of traditional dance rhythms of West Africa and a drum circle that plays primarily freestyle, in-the-moment music, there are times when it might be valuable to share African drumming concepts in a drum circle. In his 2011 Percussive Notes article “Interactive Drumming: Using the power of rhythm to unite and inspire,” Kalani defined drum circles, drum ensembles, and drum classes. Drum circles are “improvisational experiences, aimed at having fun in an inclusive setting. They don’t require of the participants any specific musical knowledge or skills, and the music is co-created in the moment. The main idea is that anyone is free to join and express himself or herself in any way that positively contributes to the music.” By contrast, drum classes are “a means to learn musical skills. The goal is to develop one’s drumming skills in order to enhance one’s enjoyment and appreciation of music. Students often start with classes and then move on to join ensembles, thereby further developing their skills.” Drum ensembles are “often organized around specific musical genres, such as contemporary or folkloric music of a specific culture” (Kalani, p. 72). Robert Damm: It may be beneficial for a drum circle facilitator to introduce elements of African music for the sake of enhancing the musical skills, cultural knowledge, and social experience of the participants. PERCUSSIVE NOTES 8 JULY 2017 PERCUSSIVE NOTES 9 JULY 2017 cknowledging these distinctions, it may be beneficial for a drum circle facilitator to introduce elements of African music (culturally specific rhythms, processes, and concepts) for the sake of enhancing the musi- cal skills, cultural knowledge, and social experience Aof the participants in a drum circle.

  • The Confluence of Folkloric Maraca Performance And
    The Confluence of Folkloric Maraca Performance and Contemporary Artistry: Assessing the Past, Present, and Inspiring the Future by Jeremy Muller A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Jeffrey Smith, Chair Michael Kocour Jeffrey Bush Mark Sunkett Glenn Hackbarth ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT Venezuelan maraca playing is largely unknown to musicians with Western Art Music backgrounds. While some composers utilize the instrument and its associated performance practices, the resources available to learn about the subject are limited and scattered. Through research, observations, and studying with correspondences, this document will explore the vastness of Venezuelan musical concepts and maraca techniques to seek out common goals and generate a resource that is accessible to musicians and musicologists. A large part of this research will focus on the Contemporary Music in the Western tradition that has been inspired by Venezuelan maraca playing. I will explain the context in which this music is commonly found and how to apply it to a contemporary setting. The individuals I interviewed span a variety of backgrounds and expertise. All have extensive experience in Venezuelan maraca traditions. Their individual points of view will give unique perspectives to help affix the music of the past to the creation of music in the future. The limited resources on this subject inhibit education, performance quality, new music, and further research. Ultimately, my document and recordings will provide imperative examples to help develop a greater understanding of an understudied Venezuelan art form. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The audio and video recording that accompanies this document would not have been possible without the support of the JumpStart Research Grant (2011) from the Graduate & Professional Student Association at Arizona State University.

  • Maracas in the Venezuelan Joropo: a Proposed Pedagogical
    MARACAS IN THE VENEZUELAN JOROPO: A PROPOSED PEDAGOGICAL NOTATIONAL SYSTEM by STEPHEN PATRICK PRIMATIC (Under the Direction of THOMAS MCCUTCHEN) ABSTRACT Venezuelan maraca players are highly skilled musicians who must learn many techniques in order to play the instrument properly. To date, there is no notational system that takes into account the myriad of techniques needed to play this instrument. This document proposes a notational system for Venezuelan maracas. The history of the instrument and its use in indigenous music is examined along with notational problems inherent in percussion writing. Transcriptions of performances utilizing this new notation conclude this document. INDEX WORDS: maraca, joropo, notation, percussion, Venezuela.

  • JONATHAN HARVEY List of Works BIOGRAPHY CONTENTS
    “He is a rare spirit, ever in search of the new and numinous” The Sunday Times JONATHAN HARVEY List of Works BIOGRAPHY CONTENTS Born in Warwickshire in 1939, Jonathan Harvey was a chorister at page St Michaelʹs College, Tenbury and later a major music scholar at St Biography 2 Johnʹs College, Cambridge. He gained doctorates from the Article by Paul Griffiths (Eng) universities of Glasgow and Cambridge and (on the advice of 3-4 Benjamin Britten) also studied privately with Erwin Stein and Hans Article by Paul Griffiths (German) 5 Keller. He was a Harkness Fellow at Princeton (1969-70). Article by Paul Griffiths (French) 6 An invitation from Boulez to work at IRCAM in the early 1980s has so far resulted in seven realisations at the Institute, and two for the List of works Ensemble Intercontemporain, including the celebrated tape piece Opera 7-8 Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco, Bhakti and Advaya for cello, live electronics and pre-recorded sounds. Harvey has also composed for Orchestral 8-12 most other genres: orchestra (Tranquil Abiding, White as Jasmine and Ensemble 12-17 Madonna of Winter and Spring - the latter scheduled for a Chamber Music 17-19 performance by the Berlin Philharmonic and Simon Rattle in Instrumental 20-23 autumn 2006), chamber (four string quartets, Soleil Noir/Chitra, and Choral 24-28 Death of Light, Light of Death, for instance) as well as works for solo instruments.
